trout plants

[TTT]

question. whats up with the brownies? that's not usual. especially with the volume they are putting in. are they trying to get rid of something evasive in the lake? are they giving the stripers variety on there buffet? or did they
pick them up less than wholesale

The DFG Southern California rainbow trout supply got contaminated. That's why there has hardly been any trout plants in So Cal. To make up for it Silverwood is getting browns.

Us OF's remember when they publicized SWood as becoming "The Crowley of the South" Had an oltimer named Del West who was the big dog bringin in some nice sized brownies. Wonder if there are some big ones in there who survived the Striper invasion? Anybody hearing of any brownies being brought in at all?

Easy limits of browns when they are planted which has been two to three times a month since January, with a mix of rainbows.

The old browns have been gone for years. Del West was just one of the old guard chasing them. As a matter of fact the first big stripers caught at Silverwood were incidentally caught by those fishing for trophy browns. Lot's of great stories about the Wild Wild West at Silverwood, most cannot be repeated for fear of prosecution although I think the statute of limitation may have run out.

Trophy stripers have taken a huge hit at Silverwood caused by social media and those that don't understand that trophy fish take years in the making and even stripers have limited numbers of them. I still find it confusing that those that enjoy targeting these fish feel the need to keep every one of them, so many schoolies to be taken that taste better but hey got to get that Internet glory shot with a dead trophy striper!

FYI I caught and released a nice healthy 17-18" Brown on a crankbait Saturday. He wasn't playing around and slammed it!
